Today, inactivity is one of the problems of society, especially among housewives. The purpose of this research was to determine the effects of Brailletonik and physical fitness training on mental health and life expectancy of housewives. For this purpose, 30 housewives in the age range of 19-39 years were selected as convenience and participated in a pre-test-post-test randomized-groups design. Both groups did physical fitness and Brailletonik trainings for 6 weeks (3 sessions of 60 minutes each week). In the pre-test and post-test, people's mental health was measured using the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ 28) and life expectancy was measured using Schneider's Life Expectancy Questionnaire (AHS). The mixed 2*2 ANOVA were used to analyze data related to life expectancy, and U-Mann Whitney and Wilcoxon tests were used to analyze mental health data. Both groups showed significant improvement in weight loss, mental health and life expectancy; While in the pre-test and post-test stages, there was no significant difference between the two groups in the measured variables.
Although no significant difference was observed between the effects of physical fitness and Brailletonik trainings on life expectancy and mental health, the use of group Brailletonik training can be useful for housewives due to its enjoyable nature along with other physical exercises.
